about
[Originally taken from "Balrog Burger Demo" 2005]
Well here it is! The very first Gandalf's Fist track ever recorded back in 2005!
Back then we didn't really know what kind of music we wanted to make so there's a very heavy NWOBHM vibe to this song!
On this, our ten year anniversary, we've taken it upon ourselves to re-record the song that Dean threw together in an afternoon and flung haphazardly onto the world wide web, little could he know what madness it would start.
Slightly re-worked composition-wise from the original demo, we've decided, quite wisely, to remove the Gandalf movie-voice-over that was present on the track back in 2005 - Last thing is we want is a grumpy Sir Ian Mckellen turning up on our door shaking his fist.... second thoughts... wait a minute....

BBT are standard bearers for modern prog, with a sound that evokes the spirit of those legendary 70s bands whilst managing to also be thoroughly contemporary. It's astonishing that over 30 minutes of music of this quality, with such high production values, is being made available for free - and their full albums are also very reasonably priced...
